Mike Wolfe's Big Pick

Mike Wolfe is known as an American picker. He's a TV star, author and entrepreneur.

But mostly, he'd tell you, he's an Indian Motorcycle® enthusiast. He loves them for their history and heritage, and for their ride. His "best pick - ever" (and what got him in the business full-time) was when he scored a treasure trove of Indian® motorcycles at a Pennsylvania farm.

Mike called the farmer about his classified ad, then drove 800 miles and slept in his van in the farmer's driveway. The next day, the farmer opened two barns, revealing 10 vintage Indian® motorcycles and tons of parts. Mike Wolfe discovered heaven on earth.

In his picking business, Mike encounters antiques of every kind. But his greatest picking passion is Indian® motorcycles. He collects them. Gets them running. And mostly, he rides. He loves dings, dents, scratches and rust. Forget cosmetics or fresh paint. Just ride. After all, it's an Indian®.

Indian Motorcycle is excited to be working and riding with Mike Wolfe. He's helping us bring back the passion this iconic brand deserves, and is energized to ride with us into the exciting next chapter of Indian Motorcycle® history.
